Benefits of technology

The invention provides an apparatus for producing a spunbond web with isotropic properties in both the machine direction and transverse direction. This is achieved by using a filament guide with gaps that can be moved to give the filaments an additional transverse orientation when deposited on the deposition device. The apparatus includes a spinner, cooling chamber, stretcher, and deposition device, and can produce nonwoven fabrics with better mechanical properties. The invention also provides a method for achieving the same strength properties in both the machine direction and transverse direction. The apparatus and method are simple, low-cost, and functionally reliable. The invention can be used with monocomponent, multicomponent, or bicomponent filaments made of thermoplastic plastic.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the deposited filaments have different properties in the machine direction than transversely to the machine direction, which is unwanted, for example the deposited filaments have less strength transversely to the machine direction than in the machine direction.
Certain needle-punching measures for consolidation the nonwoven web can increase these disadvantageous effects even further.
The result obtained therewith left much to be desired, however, not to mention that such needle-punching devices are complex and expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for the continuous manufacture of a spunbond web S from aerodynamically stretched filaments of thermoplastic plastic. The apparatus has a spinneret 1 and a cooling chamber 2 underneath the spinneret and into which process air can be introduced in order to cool the filaments. Adjoining the cooling chamber 2 is an intermediate passage 3 followed in the direction of travel of the filaments, by a stretcher 4 having a stretching passage 5. Adjoining the stretching passage 5 is a deposition unit 6. A deposition device as a continuously circulating conveyor belt 7 for the deposition of the filaments for the spunbond web S is provided underneath the deposition unit 6. Here, the assembly comprising the cooling chamber 2, the intermediate passage 3, and the stretcher 4—except for the air supply in the cooling chamber 2—is a closed system. A further air supply is therefore not provided in this assembly.

[0046]FIG. 1 also shows that an air supply chamber 8 next to...

Abstract

An apparatus for the continuous manufacture of a spunbond web from aerodynamically stretched thermoplastic filaments has at least one spinneret, a cooling chamber for cooling the filaments, a stretcher, and a deposition device for the deposition of the filaments to form the spunbond web. At least one filament guide having a plurality of filament-guide gaps opens toward the stretcher between the stretcher and the deposition device, and the filament guide or at least one guide part of the filament guide can be moved such that the filament-guide gap or the stretcher-side openings thereof are displaced transversely to the travel direction of the spunbond web. Thus the filaments or filament bundles guided along or through the filament-guide gap are given a transverse orientation to the travel direction of the spunbond web when deposited onto the deposition device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous manufacture of a spunbond web from aerodynamically stretched filaments, preferably from thermoplastic plastic.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]An apparatus of the above-described type is basically known from practical applications. In this connection, it has been proven effective to spin, cool, and stretch the filaments with a spinner and, after expanding the thus produced filament bundle, to then form the spunbond web by depositing the filaments on a deposition device that is usually an endless conveyor belt. In the apparatus known from practical applications, the spunbond web that has been deposited onto the conveyor belt is subjected to additional processing steps. Many spunbond fabrics produced with the known measures leave much to be desired with respect to their mechanical properties, in particular, such as tensile strengths, tear propagation resistances, isotropy, dimensional stability, etc. ...
